Recipe Post - Hummingbird Cake

This recipe is from the Martha Stewart website, but it's just so good I had to share it with you all! I'm a massive fan of banana bread and when I saw this recipe for a cake that's similar with pineapple AND pecan nuts? I knew I'd love it. But you have to eat this pretty quick or it turns into a soggy mess.
